New in Ilograph: Via Relations
Ilograph 1.9.8 is a major new release for all Ilograph environments (web, desktop, and Confluence Cloud) that adds the following enhancements and bug fixes:
Via relations
The new via property on relations allows diagram authors to create relations that go through other resources:
Via relations are handy for preserving explicit relations between two resources while showing their connection is handled by intermediary resources. Importantly, these resources preserve their coupling when selected or highlighted:
Intermediary resources are typically message brokers, queues, networks, and other resources that connect your primary resources, but whose details are mostly opaque. Learn more about via relations in the docs.
New markdown
Ilograph markdown now supports headers and bulleted lists:
Both are available when using multi-line descriptions. Headers are specified with one or more pound signs (#), while bulleted lists are specified with dashes (-). Below is an example of headers in a resource description:
resources: - name: Resource A subtitle: A Resource description: |- This descriptions has multiple headers: # Header 1 ## Header 2 ### Header 3 etc.
Like all markdown elements, they are supported in resource descriptions, relation descriptions, and perspective notes and walkthroughs. Learn more about these new markdown elements in the docs.
Bug fixes
- Fixed arrows being clipped at diagram edges. This was mostly seen on circular arrows between parent and child resources.
- In the editor, fixed autocomplete popping up when creating descriptions and notes.
